Alfa Romeo Giulietta - The Story 1977-1985

Introduced in 1977 to replace the much-loved Giulia, the "Nuova Giulietta" stole the hearts of many, yet no title had ever been fully dedicated to this successful Alfa model.
Automotive Designer and historian Matteo Licata first tackled the issue in 2018, and now this improved and expanded second edition will certainly satisfy even the most ardent "Alfisti": the book is based on a rigorous research through period documents and first-hand accounts of former Alfa Romeo employees.

Alfa Romeo TZ-TZ2 : Born to Win

Having left motor racing in the early 1950s - at least officially - Alfa Romeo returned to the sport once again at the start of the following decade due to the commitment and enthusiasm of Autodelta.
This Alfa offshoot distinguished itself by preparing and racing about 30 of the manufacturer's different cars that really did make history. Among them, the Giulia TZ holds a place at the head of the crowd.

It had a 1.5-litre, 113 hp engine from the Giulia SS, front and rear suspension of modern conception, disc brakes and an especially bold body shaped by Zagato on a modern tubular chassis.
Those were the strong points of this car, which scored results of absolute prestige in its brief career at Sebring, in the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Tour de France.

Vito Witting da Prato, already the author of a meticulously written book on the Alfa Romeo SZ, covers the winning, human, technical and sporting factors of this unforgettable car in a monumental work.
A book which, to the precise text and painstaking historical reconstruction, has been added illustrations of previously unpublished pictures and technical designs by Autodelta, plus all the results of the "Tubular Zagato" from 1963 to 1968.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1977-1985

NEW

The Giulietta 116, also known as the "Little Alfetta, " was introduced during a period of social unrest and economic crisis as the successor to the successful Alfa Romeo Giulia. While maintaining the Giulia's transaxle layout, the new model featured smaller engines and simpler trim to suit the economic climate.

Developed under Project 116, the Giulietta broke from tradition in styling, with a sharp, modern design. Its bold rear end - nicknamed the "duck's tail" - was created by Ermanno Cressoni and initially met with mixed reviews. However, this feature has since become one of the model's defining strengths.

The Giulietta 116 combined agile handling with a wide range of engines, from the basic 1.3 to the rare 2.0 Turbodiesel and the sporty 2.0 Turbo tuned by Autodelta. It was a versatile and accessible car, popular across social groups, used by police forces and criminals alike.

This book presents the complete history of the Giulietta 116, exploring its technical development, versions, and cultural impact, including its appearances in Italian crime and comedy films that later gained cult status.
